Chapter 158: Scene in the Rain
"Well, that's a coincidence."
Ye Xiaoyu replied expressionlessly, this old five, it is not good to look at the hundreds of acres of land of the Lu family in the countryside, and suddenly run back to the Lujiazhuang, there must be nothing good. But then again, Ye Xiaoyu really hasn't seen this person in the village for a long time, and she is about to forget about the Lu family and such an annoying housekeeper.
"I heard that in my absence, Miss Ye, you became the big landlord of the land in Yinpan, and it is said that you have fired a few people?"
Lao Wu continued in a strange tone, during this time, he has been busy with his own small plans, so he has no spare time to find Ye Xiaoyu, anyway, now Ye Xiaoyu does not need him to make things difficult, just the mouths of those people in the village are enough for her.
"In front of the fifth uncle, I don't dare to be the title of the big landlord, after all, if you want to say the words of the landlord, no one can compare to you now. It is said that Chunyu has been called a young lady recently? ”
Ye Xiaoyu seemed to be smiling, since the incident of Xiaolongbao, the fifth child took her daughter Chunyu to live in the next town, saying that it was convenient to go to school, but a discerning person knew at a glance that he must have found that Chunyu's brain was not bright enough, and he was afraid that she would be bullied in the Lu family, a place of right and wrong, or that she would drag her back and affect his future, so he sent her away. Besides, although women are not prohibited from entering schools in this era, women must go through strict layers of screening when they enter the government-run school.
"I didn't expect that after a year, my mouth became more and more dangerous, but people can't fight. It's a pity that the silver plate is such a good plot, tsk, ......"
Lao Wu patted the cow's back and looked at Ye Xiaoyu mockingly, no matter how capable she is, after all, she is a yellow-haired girl, and if she wants to fight with herself, it is still far behind.
Ye Xiaoyu knew that the fifth child would mention this matter, and now, nothing could poke her better than the land on the silver plate. But a poke is a poke. You can't lose.
"The fifth uncle bothered, but it's really hard to say whether the initiator of the silver plate is a human or a ghost."
Ye Xiaoyu said, turning the handle of the umbrella.
It was suddenly dark. It's getting hotter and hotter. Look like this. A torrential rain is expected soon.
It's still a long way from the silver platter, it's all dirt roads, and there is no shelter from the rain. If the fifth child grinds his lips like this, he will definitely get drenched at that time.
The sky was suddenly dark, and the fifth child also knew that there would be a heavy rain later, so he took the morning glory and didn't want to delay time here. Anyway, he also knew that he would not be able to win against Ye Xiaoyu for a while, as long as he could make up for it elsewhere.
"I said Miss Ye, sometimes you accumulate some morality and are good to others and yourself, and when you are young, you are easy to be retributed. I heard that you don't even let go of the old mother who cooks in Lujiazhuang? ”
Although he was going to leave, Lao Wu was still unforgiving.
Ye Xiaoyu didn't answer immediately, but hurriedly passed over the other side of the cow, and only turned around after crossing the fifth child.
"Hah! I didn't expect that Fifth Uncle You are also a person who pities the fragrance and cherishes the jade, and even the old mother who cooks in Lujiazhuang can get the favor of Fifth Uncle. Sure enough—"
Ye Xiaoyu looked at the fifth child and deliberately smiled and did not finish.
Just now, in order to prevent the fifth child from being beaten, she deliberately walked over first and then said such a sentence. Looking at Lao Wu's angry face like pig's liver, Ye Xiaoyu felt inexplicably refreshed.
"You-!!"
Looking at Ye Xiaoyu's ability to speak again, the fifth child's lungs are about to explode, but he can't run over and chase her, right? I still have a lot of things to rely on the Lu family now, although Ye Xiaoyu is also an outsider, but how to say it, she is also the daughter of Lu Yishou's brother, if she does too much on the surface, even if Jiang Ping supports her, it is not good for people to leave a handle. Besides, Ye Xiaoyu, a yellow-haired girl, won't be able to sè for long, and sooner or later she won't be able to eat and walk around.
Thinking like this, Lao Wu didn't care about Ye Xiaoyu, and drove the cow to Lujiazhuang, looking at the sky, there will be a heavy rainstorm soon, this Ye Xiaoyu is still running to the ground, it is best to let her be killed by thunder, once it is a hundred, don't worry about dealing with it yourself.
Sure enough, Ye Xiaoyu hadn't walked a few steps, and the raindrops like hail began to fall from his head, and the small flower umbrella bought from the capital at the beginning of the year couldn't withstand the huge raindrops at all.
The road was wide, but it was full of mud, and when it rained heavily, it was full of muddy water, and when you stepped on it, you splashed all over. With thunderstorms, Ye Xiaoyu wanted to walk faster, but her feet were full of muddy water, like walking in a swamp, so she could only walk forward slowly with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
The scratch on his arm was drenched by the rain, and there was a stinging pain, and Ye Xiaoyu didn't care about the pain, and tried to walk forward.
Her hair, clothes, and shoes were all water, Ye Xiaoyu was a little depressed, she was really, why bother to be so tired, in this inaccessible wilderness, it would take a day or two to be found if she was killed by lightning.
The oil-paper umbrella in his hand is shaded, although the thickness of the umbrella surface is good, but under such a heavy rainstorm, it can't hold the silver plate at all, Ye Xiaoyu simply put the umbrella together, anyway, the body is basically soaked, the weather is so hot, it is not bad to take a natural bath.
Sunny must be hiding in a small thatched hut at the end of the ground now, if only he could come out with a poncho to pick him up now.
As soon as this idea came out, even Ye Xiaoyu herself was shocked, sure enough, she was stupid by the thunderstorm, not to mention that Qing Lang didn't know that she would come to the field at this time, even if he knew, the probability of coming to pick him up was almost zero. It's not that he's cold-blooded, it's just that on such a dirt road, one more person will only get drenched in rain, and it won't help at all. The soil on this road was drenched in rain and potholes, and even the carriage could not walk through.
Actually, it's okay, according to my own forward speed, when the rain stops, you can almost reach the silver platter, and then stay in the silver platter for a while, and when you go back, the clothes on your body are probably dry, so it seems that this is not too bad.
Ye Xiaoyu was thinking wildly in her head as she walked, the rain slapped on her body and face, and the coldness on her skin alternated with the scorching breath on the ground, which made her feel a little irritable inexplicably.
Now I must look like a madman.
The rain is getting heavier and heavier, and there is no intention of stopping at all.
Suddenly, Ye Xiaoyu saw a moving object in front of the rain curtain. It can't be a wild beast from the mountains running down to feed, right? In view of the fact that it was too late for him to turn around and run now, Ye Xiaoyu couldn't help but clench the umbrella handle in his hand, planning that if it was really a beast, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, give it a stick first.
The object was moving in the rain, and the rain and fog were in front of him, and although he rubbed his eyes desperately, he still couldn't see clearly, and he only vaguely felt that the object was a bit like a horse, and a little bit like it, but the body was very tall. She couldn't help but look at the handle of the umbrella in her hand, she was now a little worried about the resistance of this small flower umbrella.
Seeing that the object was getting closer and closer to her, Ye Xiaoyu decided to hide by the roadside ditch near the mountain, anyway, the rain and fog were blurry, and the thing might not be able to see herself.
Although Quanxiu Village is located in the plain, there are still some small hills around, and many relatively remote roads are built at the foot of the mountain. To put it bluntly, there are hills on one side and plains on the other, and the road is close to the mountains. In fact, in the countryside in the previous life, there were also many such practices, opening roads next to the hills, which could not only avoid occupying the land of the plains due to road construction, but also make use of the hills, which was simply "waste utilization", killing two birds with one stone. In the hearts of the farmers, the mountains are far less important than the fields.
The ditch is not deep, but it is large enough to accommodate the height of an adult. All the muddy water on the mountain was left along the ditch, and the water was very strong. Ye Xiaoyu stepped on the protruding stone in the ditch with both feet, and the whole person lay on the ditch wall, the rain flowed down her face to her whole body, and she had a sense of determination. For some reason, she suddenly remembered the movie "Tunnel War" she watched in her previous life.
The sound of rain and water made her unable to hear the movement of the object, and she did not know if it had passed.
"Hurry up and get on the horse."
With such a sound coming from overhead, mixed with the sound of rain, Ye Xiaoyu felt that she must have had auditory hallucinations. Or, what's even more terrifying, if the sound is made by the unknown object just now, after all, even one's own dead person can be resurrected, and other strange things are not impossible.
Suppressing her thoughts, Ye Xiaoyu didn't dare to think about it.
"Ye Xiaoyu!! Hurry up ......"
The voice came again, this time it became very clear, and suddenly no rain fell on Ye Xiaoyu's body.
Steady on his feet, Ye Xiaoyu looked up, and was greeted by Qinglang's indifferent face, at this time he was bending over to look at himself, still holding an umbrella in his hand. If he could make an expression, he must have been surprised at this time.
"Hurry up and ......"
Seeing that Ye Xiaoyu didn't react, Qinglang stretched out a hand, grabbed Ye Xiaoyu's hand tightly on the stone wall of the ditch, and dragged her out of the ditch.
"Why are you here?"
Sitting on the back of the horse, Ye Xiaoyu still didn't dare to believe his eyes, and the sunny suddenly appeared, although he realized the idea he had just daydreamed of, but it didn't make sense at all? Could this be another illusion, that he would not have been poisoned by an unknown object, would he?
Ye Xiaoyu suddenly felt cold.
"I was originally going back to Lujiazhuang."
Holding the reins in his hand, he replied lightly.
The road is too muddy, even for horses, it is one foot deep and one foot shallow, and it is not possible to walk fast at all, but it is only faster than walking.
Loop Zhuang? Back to Lujiazhuang in this pouring rain?
If it's not sunny and crazy, it's her Ye Xiaoyu hallucinating. (To be continued......)
